Tens of thousands of protesters marched in cities around the world over the weekend calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon as the bombardment in the Palestinian territory neared the one-year mark, AFP reports.

In Morocco Sunday, tens of thousands of protesters gathered in the capital, Rabat, waving Palestinian flags and calling to break off diplomatic ties with Israel, which the kingdom normalised in 2020.

“Resistance does not die” and “The people want an end to normalisation”, they chanted outside parliament.

“We consider Palestine to be a national cause,” Khadija Mokhtari, a 56-year-old retiree taking part in the protest, told AFP.

She attended to protest the “flagrant injustice, Israeli killings and the genocide” against Palestinians, she added.

Thousands also marched in support of Gaza and Lebanon in cities across Turkey, including Istanbul and Ankara.

In Ramallah, in the West Bank, protesters carried a banner showing photos of Palestinian journalists slain while covering the conflict.

Thousands also marched through New York’s Times Square, some carrying pictures of people killed in Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.
